Small and big news ...The bonnet had gone away to be made of Full Carbonfibre And great news and a big update for me that I should have the electronic box in a couple of weeks time  Well after Brexit and the joke and silly money import charges and carriage charges I thought I’d be out of luck with my Electronic Paddle shift setup ... I was planning on buying new in Jan / Feb 2022 ?....but get a message today from a chap I know through a mutual friend that has a fully working setup in his EVO car and he’s breaking the whole car -because of a divorce sadly ... One persons pain is another’s gain hopefully I will be the proud owner of a 14months old /2nd hand Electronic Sequencial paddle shift gear selector that will allow me to still use the gearstick and have the gearstick as a back up incase the paddle-shift fails At nearly 1/2 the price of new ...well just over So the last item needed before a new ECU and loom and Engine refresh and upgrade next year  |

It will kind of look similar but different to the pic below but with my own twist Saved a big amount of money on this and bargain of the year ... I’m excited as I can now get on with designing and fabricating the billet fixing mount and rod eye with the help of my m8s 5axis Milling machine  |

Want to design something similar to the fixing plate but so it will match my Sequencial gear-lever riser plate I fabricated out of steel  |

Always a pleasure to be told by your Composite guy that your sanding isn’t to his standard while he preps it and then sprays it ready for mould making  |

Sadly not much with the car has happened lately…Just gave my notice in at work and starting a new job in 4weeks time with more money and plenty of opportunities to earn genuine more money at last … My Second hand Electronic Sequencial gear-lever selector for my Paddle shifts arrived and even though its out of a damaged car i must say its cleaned up well … These are like £2.5k new with vat and delivery so to get one second hand let alone in this condition and amount i paid or paying …is wow  |
